Description:
Date Built: 1928
Architect: Julius C. Fabel



When Sherri and Gary heard about the history of this building, we thought, Cool! The person who built roller coasters in Santa Cruz and Southern California (see Adventure 217). Sort of interesting that the same person who designed and built this building also built roller coasters. Now this rectory does not have any features of a roller coaster, at least from the outside. Enjoyed the visit on the St Johns Cathederal Historic Tour.
